Hi all I am new to this forum and have tried multiple times to reach out to the surgical team and they never get back to me. I am sick of it. My post op care has been horrible. I am having abdominal pain that seems to never go away. I am so exhausted and weak I can barely get dressed. I am extending out my FMLA for at least 6 weeks of recovery. I have had diarrhea so bad I got dehydrated and I am following the plan that was given to me as a soft food diet. with no potatoes, corn or pea's, lamb, pork or beef for the first 60 days. I have moved over to clears to see if I can get my stomach and intestines from stop moving in my abdomen like a snake. I have a lot of pressure that star bursts out around the belly button every time I eat. Can this be normal. I am a revision from a 30 year stapling and had to have the RNY with a gastrectomy. Any advise..

I feel the same way. No energy at all. I have become very anxious since the surgery, I know there is a new normal from here on out. I needed pain medication and didn't get any. I was on the operating table 6 hours. I do my 25 day post op with the surgeon tomorrow. Do any of you have pale yellow stool( BM)

Thank You.

I did that and did go to the ER. And of course I was dehydrated and needed Fluid but I should not have to do that.
